Portable Restroom Placement Considerations

Important site considerations for the use of temporary restrooms include:

Location

The location should be easily accessible for a truck to unload the restroom. The site should also be dry and level so the truck will not get stuck and the restroom will not sink or become unbalanced.

Placement

Carefully consider the size of the unit you have chosen. Add to the measurement to ensure proper placement. If the unit chosen is a trailer, consider what will be adjacent to it when it is being delivered and maneuvered by a truck to fit in to the space. Discuss any constraints carefully with your account executive or project manager. Don't leave out any detail, as it could have an effect on the success of placement.

Service

If any servicing is required during your event, the service vehicle must be able to enter the site and maneuver as close as possible to the restroom to perform the service.

Note

You must be aware that the noise created when the vacuum truck is pumping a restroom is at a high level. This may cause a disturbance and should be considered when scheduling service.

See our Planning Guides for more information on planning for your temporary restroom rental.

 

Portable Toilet Style and Decorating Tips

When browsing for a temporary restroom for your event, keep style and decor in mind. Most of our restrooms are fairly neutral but small touches can be added to personalize and enhance the ambiance of your event.

For a wedding, you can provide guests with a restroom accessory basket lined with colored fabric to coordinate with your wedding colors.

Place a small coordinating floral arrangement inside the restroom for an upscale look.

Potpourri and scented sachets add a light fragrance and elevate the senses.

A large potted garden arrangement placed outside of the restroom can help guide guests towards the entry door, as well as hide any undesirable exterior features.

Lattice can also be placed around the base of a restroom trailer to hide the tires and create the feel of a permanent structure.

 

A Simple Upgrade Creates Big Impact

When choosing your temporary restroom rental, consider a Mr. John Maxim for maximum comfort for your guests. The Maxim is a contemporary spin on the classic individual temporary restroom and will create an upscale atmosphere for any occasion. Its sleek modern exterior is sure to please and the advanced interior design provides added comfort in the form of flush and wash capability.

The Maxim's toilet and sink feature a foot pedal operation to create a more sanitary experience. The unit also features such upscale amenities such as a vanity area with soap, mirror paper towels and wastebasket for added impact.

The Maxim is perfect for events of any size, and is an affordable way to create an exceptional experience for your guests !

For more information on upgrading your rental to the Maxim, please contact a Mr. John representative.

 

Portable Restroom Cold-Weather Tips

Here are a few tips to help avoid unnecessary service calls for your temporary restroom equipment during the cold weather:

Portable restroom units should be easily accessible for service vehicles, preferably close to a road or paved area. Try to keep them away from areas that may be plowed in and away from muddy areas where service vehicles may get stuck.

If you have a flushing unit, never flush any paper towels or feminine products down the toilet, especially during the winter months. These items can freeze in the pipe and cause a clog.

If you have a wastewater holding tank under your trailer, make sure you have the heater plugged in to an "always hot" 120 volt GFI receptacle. The heater must be plugged in to prevent the contents of the waste tank from freezing.

If you have a fresh water tank inside of your field office or sales trailer, make sure the temperature inside the trailer never goes below freezing.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding cold-weather operation of your equipment, please feel free to contact us for guidance.
